Happy 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time!

Religious Formation:
Join our Adult Formation Committee at 10:00 AM or 6:30 PM each Thursday beginning November 4th for Bishop Barron's "THE MASS." 
Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life.
All are welcome to join us for this video series! Call our office at 293-0088
or email dre@johnxxiiicc.org to sign up and get your invitation to the meeting. 

Our Adult Formation Committee at is also hosting a new Beyond Words Book Study at 10:00 AM on Tuesdays beginning November 9th.
If the word trinity isn’t in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway?
The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and
sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved for us the rich legacy of the early Church.
D’Ambrosio dusts off the dry theology and brings you the exciting stories and great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, Chrysostom, and Jerome. This page-turner will inspire and challenge you with the lives and insights of these seminal teachers from when the Church was young.
All are welcome to join us! E-Book available on formed for free. Pick up a hard copy of the book from your favorite retailer. Call our office at 293-0088 or email dre@johnxxiiicc.org to sign up and get your invitation to the Zoom meeting.
